Lake Argyle
A giant reservoir formed by the Ord River Dam, one of Australia's largest artificial freshwater lakes, with breathtaking sunset cruises, an infinity pool and islands.
Lake Argyle lies about 70 kilometers south of Kununurra. It is a huge reservoir formed in 1971 when the Ord River Dam began impounding water. Its normal surface area is about 1,000 square kilometers, and it has more than 70 islands, home to tens of thousands of freshwater crocodiles. Sunset cruises departing from the lakeside resort let you see rock wallabies and crocodiles, and you can swim in the lake. The resort's infinity pool overlooks the lake and is the most popular photo spot. Cruises must be booked in advance, and they run daily in the dry season.
